unusual facts about Nonlinear optics


Organic photorefractive materials

Organic photorefractive materials are a nonlinear medium in which large amounts of information can be recorded and read.


Chen Yung-Jui

During the ten years in industry, he worked on MOS/MNOS VLSI technology, wafer scale integration, Ultra-fast optical spectroscopy, nonlinear optics of semiconductors and organic polymers, integrated optics and optoelectronic devices.

Kuzyk quantum gap

In 2000, Professor Mark G. Kuzyk of Washington State University calculated the fundamental limit of the nonlinear-optical susceptibility of molecules.

Laser beam profiler

Nonlinear optics: Frequency conversion efficiency in nonlinear optical materials is proportional to the square (sometimes cubed or more) of the input light intensity.

Lev Pavlovich Rapoport

Rapoport also served on the Russian Academy of Science's Scientific Council for Atomic Spectroscopy and Scientific Council for Coherent and Nonlinear Optics.
